COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONIchigo Highway is a collaborative beer that we created with Hangar 24 Brewing from Redlands, CA. The base style is a sessionable sour red ale that we aged in oak barrels along with a whopping amount of strawberries, most of which were picked from the fields besides Hangar 24’s brewery. Aged for approximately 8 months, this beer has developed a pleasant funk and a delightful acidity that is balanced by the intensely sweet aroma and flavor of the strawberries as well as a unique dryness achieved by using a sake yeast along with our house strain along with souring bacteria.
Available in November.
5.5% ABV, Best enjoyed fresh due to the fleeting aroma and flavor of the strawberries

"Pretty easily my least favorite sour from the Bruery, though still quite enjoyable. That just speaks to the high standard that they’ve set that I felt this one didn’t quite reach. Odd but intriguing aroma and flavor of primarily sweet strawberry and stinky cheese. the sour/tart aspect is a little lightm though pleasant, till you get to to the cloudy prinkish red dreggs on the bottom of the bottle...then you feel it in the jaw. In the end, this is a beer I’d drink anytime, but not for the price. One timer at $20."

March 22, 2014 - on tap at Bruery tasting room. Reddish orange pour with limited head. Aroma was malt, spice / cinnamon and strawberry. Taste was sour fruit and some wood. Interesting that the sour did not seem to come out in the aroma.
